+<h1>rsyslog packages</h1>
+<p><b>Thanks to some volunteers, rsyslog is also available in package form on
+some distributions.</b> All available packages are listed below. If you would
+like to maintain a package for a new distribution, please mail me at
+<a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">rgerhards@adiscon.com</a>. Any help is *deeply*
+appreciated. While I create the core daemon, the package maintainers are really
+filling it with life, making it available to the average user. I am very
+grateful for that!</p>

+New packages may appear at any time, so be sure to check this page whenever you
+need a new one.</p>

+<h2>Almost any Linux</h2>
+<p><b>Bennet Todd</b> maintains packages that should work on almost any Linux.
+He keeps a current i386 tree. There is also a PPC tree, but that one is not paid
+much attention for (anyhow, it is known to typically work well, too).</p>
+<p>Please visit <a href="http://bent.latency.net/bent/">
